Drive-by Delhi

The sleeper from Varanasi to Delhi was surprisingly cold, even without the air-conditioning of the more expensive classes, then at 5am I was woken by a group of people sitting opposite and talking loudly. They had not been there during the night, so they weren't in their own seats, but they...
